we could be talking

Clifford T. Ward

When your love lets you down
And your life is all upside down
Your mind is spinning round
You think you won't survive.

Close your eyes, drift away
You might come to another day
When she is home to stay
You're glad to be alive
She' not that far from you
That you could not start anew
Reach out for her - once more
It takes just one phone call
And you could be talking
By the time this record ends.

You won't know till you've tried
Put away your foolish pride
Who cares who's wrong or right
It's what you have to do
Make your peace while you may
She thinks of you today
Tomorrow she might say
She's found someone new.

You're not that far apart
That you could not start again
The chances are she's home
Go on pick up the phone
And you could be talking
By the time this record ends.

Yes we could be talking
By the time this record ends.
